Read excerpt
Dear Reader,This was the second little red jumper that I knitted for the cafe order number project (if you’re not sure what my red jumper project was, please go back to the September 23rd post and read how it all came about) and I wrote a very short adaptation of a well-known fairy tale to go with it. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ic8V!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2

Read excerpt
